the brand would be sicker if the fa would stand for something else, like forest alligator, financial apocalypse, ficus americanus, false aspirin, or perhaps something like failuretoej aculate.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Fucking Awesome. The graphics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Aesthetics the graphics will go over a typical skater's head. There's also Dill's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these graphics, to realize that they're not just cool- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Fucking Awesome truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the beauty in Fucking Awesome’s existential skate film "Randy Farkus" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Aidan Mackey's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Fucking Awesome tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Never been a fan. Jason Dill is a kook and AVE is overrated. People dickride them, Supreme, and that whole northeastern scene way too hard. The skaters have talent no doubt, but their knees-down hyper zoom filming and edits are simply intolerable. Not to mention that the name itself makes me cringe.

wow

are you me?

Possibly the worst skate brand name ever?

Jorts
Anklets
Rat tails
Sling shots
Toe rings
Shuv it tail grabs

Terrible shape and not paying that much for a deck. I get inflation is an issue but will take my money elsewhere

Mfer takes one 19th century Russian lit course at the learning annex and has the whole industry figured out. Damn.

I've bought no F.A. clothing but three F.A. decks, though only as wall bloards. I agree with Frank that it would have been great if they had left their abbreviated moniker ambiguous like S.M.P. did so we could have come up with our own name(s).

It's kinda hard to keep it ambiguous when the first several years the only thing the company made was allover print hoodies with FUCKING AWESOME printed a million times on them.
